Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Misplaced Crown launches subsequent week, however gamers are more likely to encounter an amusing bug as they make their manner via the sport. Engadget: One of many recreation’s NPCs is voiced by a text-to-speech program, full with the marginally robotic tones we have come to affiliate with these companies. It is not fairly Siri or Alexa, nevertheless it’s shut and definitely would not match the sport’s Persian-inspired setting. The NPC-in-question is a tree spirit named Kalux and appears to be voiced by a TTS program that is accessible on-line at no cost and usually utilized by streamers.
This is not an “AI is coming to your jobs” kind factor, however moderately a mistake on Ubisoft’s half, as every different NPC is connected to a voice actor. IGN notes that Kalux would not have a voice actor within the credit. Moreover, Kalux solely has a number of strains, so it seemingly will not be a tricky repair to assign an actor to ship that dialogue. Ubisoft has readied a day-one patch, nevertheless it will not deal with the Kalux problem. Search for one other patch in late January or early February that replaces the bot with a human.
